Hello first day of Spring πΈ
My orchid of over 30 years has a record number of blooms. It must love my courtyard as I do nothing except make sure it has water. I love watching it grow itβs big graceful spikes of heavy oval buds and then it gradually blooms in its own grow and flow time.
I have watched the blossom tree at the end of my street come into flower too. Every year it heralds the Spring!
Nature through the seasons is our teacher - we can lead with love - however the time to blossom & flourish will happen when we simply let it . . . πΈππΈ
Happy Springtime

Sundaze . . . lovely walk around the tan today & coffee sitting outside after chatting with girlfriends about life. Itβs a lovely regular part of my Sunday most weekends.
Walking is a joy for me, in good company around the green of the tan (gardens inside)
Came home, had a nutritious late lunch & domestic chores listening to this excellent podcast.
Yes itβs a lot about feet (I am obsessed but for all the good reasons, esp after abusing my feet as a professional ballet dancer for a long time! Love my feet now) Itβs more than anything about how important walking & moving is in our life. Our feet - their strength & mobility are literally the foundation to that, and we need to look at all aspects of them. Footwear, walking, loading, mobility, pain and more. Very do-able small transitions are key π
This podcast will give you at least a couple of immediate easy do-able actions you can implement right NOW. Itβs true response-ability appropriate to you. Itβs what APT is all about!
Maybe listen to it over a few walks - I could not stop listening , so was cleaning, loading & hanging out washing, got heaps done!
I will also say APT training is very much focussed on foot health, barefoot training and recognising what your feet need now.
π Also I am running a FREE SMILE Session during Seniors month on 15 Oct Richmond Neighbourhood Centre that brings important foot awareness & tips for people over 50. See link in comments to reserve your place or learn more π

My APT message to you
Posting less
Authenticity over feeding algorithms
My APT content is 100% about quality, education, support, care, kindness, a life time of movement experience & teaching, with some occasional humour π
Therefore if a video is longer than 3 mins - itβs for a reason & imparts worthwhile information without shortcuts that exclude vital parts simply to get likes & clicks & nurture shorter attention spans.
After over 18 years running my biz & living life with movement & music passion from age 3, I genuinely care & love what I do
I help humans love moving again - as they have the privilege of ageing well. APT clients take responsibility for their proactive movement & breathing for a fulfilling, enjoyable & happy life ππ½π
Thanks for taking
the time to check out APT - especially when you are 50 + & need support , inspiration & education.

Tuesday is EXPRESS 30 day! 30 mins of nutritious delicious movement snacks.
A long standing APT client said to me this morning - she felt dreadful last week not starting her Tuesday with EXPRESS 30. She said itβs the βSecret Sauceβ.
It also reminded me of how many squillions of emotions and thoughts flash through our minds even in 1 short minute. It can be exhausting & it affects every part of how we feel. Guess what the best circuit breaker is? To become fully present & feeling gooooood?

One of my clients recently handed me an article sheβd cut out of the newspaper.
She told me she could have written it herself - as this was her experience with her first Breath Session with APT recently.
Coming from someone who knew nothing about a Breath Session - who felt nervous & skeptical. The article described an experience where a woman went along because her friends were doing it. She summed it up:
βIt was a truly transformative experience that I canβt wait to re-live. And one that got me thinking a lot about the power of energy. Some personalities we meet drain your energy. Others lift you, and give you energy. And in a life that will always be full of ups and downs, how empowering is it to create your own energy, just like we did in our breathwork session.
I am 100 per cent sold. I would do it every single day for the rest of my life if I could. The spring is back in my step, and Iβm grateful.
Give it a go if youβre open - your overworked mind, tired body and connection-craving soul will thank you, one breath at a time.β
Breathwork for everyday well-being is coming into its own, with good reason.
Simple breathwork techniques are one of the few intentional actions we can take to regulate all the systems in our mind & body.
The great news is it can be incredibley beneficial in as little as 5 minutes.
Research backed and accessible to almost anyone, coherant breathing can bring harmony/regulation to:
β₯οΈheart rate
π©Έblood pressure
β
digestive system
π« breathing rhythm
Breathing is an indirect way to moderate the state of the heart & synchronise the neuroactivity (brain)
Breathing takes the intensity out of the emotion
The breath is the ONLY thing we can consciously influence.
I have created a special intro booking rate for the first 6 people to enjoy this very unique Breath experience at Studio 1 RCLC - no fitness or experience required.
